I wonder what's keeping Mdama on Requiem with his forces. He's doesn't believe the Forerunners as gods, but he stays at the shield world. He hates humans, and that's why he searched for the Didact to help him, however none of his forces were seen when the Didact attacked Earth. He probably called his forces back to Requiem after the assault on the UNSC Science Station near Installation 03, but for what reason?

In the campaign level Composer we've seen multiple Covenant ships escorting the Didact's ship to the UNSC Science Station near Installation 03. However, in Midnight only the Didact's ship in seen near Earth, without any Covenant ships escorting and defending Didact's ship. It seems unlikely that all Covenant ships were destroyed near the UNSC Science Station. Maybe Jul 'Mdama had other plans with his own ships and ordered them back to Requiem, thinking the Didact would survive on his mission to Earth.
